What affects the price
When planning a hardscape project, several factors influence your final investment. The total square footage is the primary driver, but the complexity of the design—such as curves, patterns, or multi-level tiers—adds to labor time. Site accessibility matters too; if crews need specialized equipment to move materials into a tight backyard, that affects the bottom line. Material choice, from standard concrete blocks to premium natural stone, significantly shifts the budget. Additionally, your current ground condition determines how much excavation and base preparation is required for long-term stability.
About this service
A patio is a paved outdoor area that serves as an extension of your home's living space. You need a patio when you want a dedicated zone for dining, grilling, or lounging in your backyard. Unlike a deck, which is usually elevated and made of wood, a patio is typically set directly on the ground. A well-designed patio acts as the foundation for all your outdoor activities and is the main reason homeowners decide to invest in professional landscape hardscaping.
Frequently asked in Springfield
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
While concrete might have a lower initial cost, pavers often provide better long-term value for Springfield homeowners. Pavers are more resistant to cracking, especially with freeze-thaw cycles, and are easier to repair if individual stones are damaged. This makes them a more durable and less costly option over time.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a proper base layer, including a specific type of sand, is essential for paver installation. This bedding material allows for precise leveling and ensures proper drainage, preventing water from pooling and causing issues. The pros will explain why this step is vital for a stable patio.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
The cost for a 20x20 paver patio in Springfield depends on several factors. These include the chosen paver material, the complexity of the design, and the necessary site preparation. You'll receive a detailed, no-obligation quote after a consultation.

What is an example of hardscaping?
A beautifully constructed paver patio that extends your living space outdoors is a prime example of hardscaping. Other examples include elegant stone pathways, durable retaining walls, or a well-designed driveway, all contributing to the overall appeal and utility of your Springfield property.
